I'm a ROTH. My Paternal Grandmother was a DURHAM. One of her DURHAM grandnephews received the results of his DNA test. I have the results. He was recently found to be related to David Milton DURHAM b. 1768 Albemarle Co. VA., our mutual 3gr-grandfather.

Would you please include the DURHAM Surname to your Forums? If I post my DURHAM Pedigree, would I be able to post the test resultsthere? Or would my cousin have to post his DURHAM Pedigree/test results, himself?

If you have tried the email address and there is no response, the only other suggestion I can offer is to contact Family Tree DNA, explain the situation and ask them to contact them, if they have an alternate way, to ask them to get in touch with you. In addition, I would caution not to read too much into a 12-marker match, as most researchers don't consider that to be enough markers to confirm a common ancestor. You might want to upgrade to 25 markers to see if you can find other matches, as most of the mutations may be in the first markers. Also, if you have not posted your pedigree on the surname project's pedigree forum, I would encourage you to do so, as an interested researcher may see it and contact you.

I have been turned down by the Jones project administrator to join the Joins surname project because he says I must come up with a Jones surname related to one of my ancestors, one William Cincinnatus "Buck" Jones who is is my great grandfather. I have the name of my great grandfather and would like to post my male Jones pedigree Jones. I think it would help me find a living Jones male relative. I read where you do not have to be a member of a surname project to post your pedigree. I read where you do not have to be tested to post your pedigree. If I can find a Jones male living ancestor I will try to get him to test. (There is already a Jones surname project [so I do not need to start a new forum topic or ask you to start a new forum.])

My question: In my situation how and where do I post my Jones pedigree on world families? (The project site is on FTDNA.com.)

Marilyn,Thank you for your response. My denial to Jones project came in an email from the project administrator so I will take your suggested route and contact FTDNA.I infer from your answer that I am not too far off base in seeking entry into the Jones project for which I have a valid pedigree and am searching for someone to test.

I want to join The Wilkins project one day so I'll be watching periodically for posts and activity. I'm an intermeadiate genealogist into my 12th year and picking up where my late Aunt Jean Turner left off in 2001.

I have a brick wall now I'm the 5th generation from Willis and Judith S. Potts-Wilkins of White House, Robertson Co., Tn. I cannot verify beyond this couple and their children. Now after reading other threads, I believe I need to find a male cousin or more to want the testing.

So I guess this is where some of the dna-forums.org people have landed? I guess I surprised myself by already having an account here (same user name and everything!), but as usual, I lurk. Except for this post. ;-)

I am just starting to get back in to things a bit; someone found me on 23andMe who, at the age of 75, was deciding he wanted to learn about one of his lines. Rather quickly I was able to determine his great grandfather is my great great grandfather (on my mother's mother's, paternal line). I was happy to be able to provide plenty of names and bonus pictures from the 1800s! It sort of put the bug back into me.

Hi,Last week I received my Geno2.0 results and my Y-DNA is E-V13 sub-group E-CTS9320.Wondering if anyone else is in that same haplogroup/sub-group?I was born in Bulgaria but reside in Ottawa, Canada.Thanks,Vlad Razbin

I would like to know whether the Ancestry DNA is acceptable to this project? My brother is a direct male line to Wilhelm Adam Wolff of Koblenz, Germany who arrived in the colonies in 1751 and finally settled in the Moravian Wachovia settlement in North Carolina. My brother has done the Y-DNA test on Ancestry which gave us information about our German, English, Irish, Scot and Scandinavian heritage and I would like to interact with other researchers into this line.Our lineage is Wilhelm Adam Wolff (Germany and Forsyth County, NC) Gottlieb (aka Caleb) Wolff (Stokes and Buncombe Counties, NC) William Wolf of Buncombe County, NC William Wesley Wolf of Henderson County, NC and McLennan County, TX John Nathaniel Wolfe of Hill County, TX John Loyd Wolfe of McLennan County, TX Cecil Loyd Wolfe of TX (my father)

HiI'm new on here. I've just had my ancestral DNA tested as part of the Cymru DNA Wales project.My surname is Dyer. Born in Wales in 1951Father: Ivan Stuart b. Birmingham 1926Grandfather: George Frederick b. Birmingham 1890Greatgrandfather: George Benjamin b. Cardiff 1858Great-Greatgrandfather: William Alfred Dyer. This is where the trail runs out at the moment. It had previously been thought that he was born in Calcutta India but more recent evidence points to him being born in Bridgewater, Somerset in 1825. Married(?) to Anne Dalley.

My Chromo2 yDNA is R1b-S116. My subtype is R1b-L617. The results state:Your L617 subtype is very rare (seen in less than 0.03% of British men) but has been observed in two men from Cambridgeshire.

Happy to share further information with any interested parties, especially related ones!Phil

I have yet to get my Y dna results back but I was able to join the cross surname project.My Y dna should be back any day. My surname is crossland. I was told that there was one other crossland in the cross surname project. How would I go about contacting that person if all I have is their kit number? Is there a member directory or something?

Also,I've seen a friends Y dna results on FTDNA.com I would think that since Y is passed from father to son that there would be a large number of the same surname showing up but that is not the case. Can someone clear up how father to son can end up with so many surnames on Y dna results? Is it because it goes so far back before surnames were applicable? That is the only thing I can think of.
